Dianne de Guzman is a deputy editor at Eater SF writing about Bay Area restaurant and bar trends, upcoming openings, and pop-ups. Ambitious new seafood restaurant Dos Pescados opened in Aptos on Wednesday, July 3, thanks to two industry vets with plenty of experience between them. Dos Pescados took over the former Palapas Restaurant y Cantina location in May, which closed after 30 years in business, and now chef Trent Lidgey takes the helm of the new restaurant with prolific Fresno restaurateur Brandon Smittcamp. Lidgey is the executive chef and owner of One Fish Raw Bar in Campbell, but in his career, he’s also worked for three-Michelin-starred Atelier Crenn, Australia’s acclaimed Brae restaurant, and the Lexington House in Los Gatos. Smittcamp, meanwhile, owns and operates the Lime Lite, Heirloom, and Butterfish in Fresno. Together, they’ve created a restaurant that leans into coastal Mexican cuisine informed by Lidgey’s cooking background and the views of the space. “I think there’s a lot of potential for good restaurants coming in,” Lidgey says. “My cuisine is largely seafood-based, and if you’re looking at the coast, that’s what I want to be eating.”

Six years ago, inspired by an Edgar Allan Poe story called “The Man of the Crowd,” about a guy compelled to seek out crowds every minute of the day, I did a piece about where to eat great inexpensive food on a 24-hour cycle. Here’s an updated version: I’ve selected 12 places that can be easily reached by public transportation. I also tried to keep snacks below $10 and larger meals below $20; the tally for everything is around $100, but does not include drinks and tips. Likely, few people will make it to every stop in a day, but if you choose to try, give us a holler at ny@eater.com.

Despite rejecting Trump’s legal team's request to dismiss several charges in the classified documents case, she conceded on a minor point. She removed a portion of the charges that referenced an uncharged allegation, but upheld the other charges.

What is more summery than an icy, sweet frozen drink? If the heat wave is getting to you, try whipping up this simple frozen strawberry lemonade. All you need is your choice of lemonade and some frozen strawberries. You can use store-bought lemonade, make your own from scratch, or a powdered version. As for strawberries, frozen ones are the easiest choice. If you'd rather use fresh, add at least two cups of ice until you reach a nice, frozen consistency.
